Rockford Fosgate P3SD4-12 Punch P3S 12" 4-Ohm DVC Shallow Subwoofer

Fosgate what can say besides there awesome and sound awesome. I love fosgate. I've got 4 fosgate subs that are 14 maybe 15 years old still pounding away.

I'm an old school car stereo guy and I had serious doubt about a shallow mount subwoofer sounding good. I wanted a much more old school install in my vehicle. I had some JL 12w6s that would be perfect, but I didn't have the mounting depth so I had to look for something shallow. I was mainly after getting a little more low end for my factory system. I have an Audio Control LC2i feeding low level inputs to an US Amps 100 bridged at 2 Ohms. It's putting out a little over 300 watts and that is plenty for this sub. I don't see it really taking much more real power. I have a US Amps 400, but I don't think I am even going to try it. In the back of my SUV it puts out some nice deep bass, much better than I was expecting for a single 12.

I was running these subs for about a week short of a year when one started to sound bad. Called them up and the replaced it! I did have to send proof of me destroying the one I said was bad. Felt like that should be a crime (cutting a subwoofer apart) been around a year since that and haven't had any issue since. I run they right around that 400rms each.

After blowing 3 pairs of Alpine type S 10's (not shallow mount) I decided to switch brands. Don't get me wrong, I love alpine, and the subs blew because I pushed them way too hard, but I like to change up my system just to compare. This time around I bought a box off eBay instead of building my own box (I got lazy), and I don't regret it at all. The subs are wired to 4 ohm, I usually wire to 1 ohm, but I'm tired of blowing subs. I have an 1800 watt audiopipe amp, and the combination makes one hell of a system. Clean and loud bass.

Honestly not the sound i was expecting, i mounted them in a shallow pre made box for my dodge ram but the bass just doesn't sound good at all.

I love the amount of bass I get from this sub!!! I took it easy for the first few days to let it break in but it still smoked a little bit during a hard bass song. I have it connected to the Rockford Fosgate R500X1D prime 1-channel class D amp with all the settings low. I called Rockford Fosgate customer service they verified that I set it up correctly and that I may have received a bad speaker. Amazon has refunded my money and I will be purchasing another sub to replace this one. Again, this sub sounds awesome; I just got a bad one and they are replacing it free of cost!!

Just what I needed to match other speaker that went bad

I got two 12in p3s 4 ohm and so far two weeks in I love them 1000 watt amp dowt 1 ohm and idk who said the car next to you won’t hear it I can feel it and hear it from two houses away maybe farther but when I tune them down i still have a luxury bass to chill to so best of both worlds with these which is exactly what I was looking for!
